Harvey

♀Judith Harvey

Born 1832, Illinois, United States. Died 1911.

Judith Harvey (1832 – 1911) was a woman of Mount Carmel, Illinois, who, a county marriage index shows, married Daniel Titus in 1860 and, with him, was among those who enrolled when the Church of Christ at Mount Carmel was organized in December 1862. She was the second great-grand-aunt of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), the sister of James Harvey (1821–1896), her second great-grandfather. She is entered as a daughter of Beauchamp Harvey (1788–1859) and Hester M. Saylor (1796–1873).

Life

A Find a Grave index gives her birth as 10 October 1832 in Illinois, and the 1900 census agrees on Illinois but gives October 1833. She was one of the seven children of the Mount Carmel pioneer Beauchamp Harvey, whom a county history published in 1883 names as Jane, Sally, James, Mary, Judith, William P. and David. Her father died in February 1859 without a will. In May 1861 the administrator’s account for his estate entered a payment of $60 to Judith Harvey, and the rest of the estate was divided between her mother and six heirs.

A county marriage index gives her marriage to Daniel Titus as 26 July 1860 at Wabash, and the 1900 census gives the same year. Two years later the couple took part in founding a church. The Church of Christ at Mount Carmel was organized on 14 December 1862 by an evangelist of the Christian Missionary Society of Illinois, and the 1883 county history prints the names of the members who enrolled when it was organized, with Judith Titus and Daniel Titus among them. Daniel Titus was elected to church office that year and again a trustee in 1863, and the church building went up in 1864.

When the 1883 county history was written, four of the seven Harvey children were living, and Judith, “wife of Daniel Titus”, was one of two who lived at Mount Carmel. The tree records no children for the couple. A Find a Grave index, which writes her name Judith Harvey Titus, gives her death as 19 March 1911 and her burial at Rose Hill Cemetery, Mount Carmel.
